Last post by Silent - January 08, 2026, 08:49:08 PMI don't get it, I understand one of the flying spores is friendly, but the enemy ones are stronger, even if I play disable/enable on the beams, what is the point? How do I attack or gain ground? What do I do in this map???

Last post by Johnny Haywire - January 08, 2026, 06:49:15 PMWhy is it that all the "inspired by Johnny Haywire" maps have a really low rating? =D
Honestly, this one could be much worse. I would've only included 1 collector, 1 terp, 1 guppy and a forge. And no pick-ups, obviously.
Really enjoyed this one, mate! Once I got everything going just like it should I let it run for a while, building up the totems strong enough to just come back to it every 5 minutes or so. What I enjoyed most was not attacking at all but just letting the creeper kill itself. That was cool.
No complaints about leaving the inhi... yanno, that thing - out of this map. It would've made it far too easy and too fast. As it is, I only used the items above to win, just as an added challenge.
As soon as I saw your name by a map I started loading it! =D
Thanks for the map!! =)

Suggestions / 'partial sourcecode' or Unity ...
Last post by Jaycephus - January 07, 2026, 05:54:05 PMWhat about having an offering on the Unity store?
Specifically, aspects of CW 3 or 4 released as tools for programmers.
Not the whole game's source, but rather something like the terrain-handling and creation tool.
(Anything like the creeper-handling itself might be core IP, very specific to CW, so I can understand not releasing that, though it seems that KC doesn't go back to reuse the code of an old game in a major way.)
So it might be a way to get more income out of the old games by selling parts like the terrain handling, or CW 3 scripting, used in those games.
I was always impressed by the different terrain systems of CW3 and CW4.

Last post by Cesser - January 07, 2026, 01:42:07 PMYes! I finally saw it yesterday after I posted the question. Thanks for replying. I think this was an original and fun map.

Thanks for having fun with my map. Finally figured out the craziness of this map.
Hard and long, but interesting!
Quote from: rennervate on January 06, 2026, 06:43:22 AMDefinitely 11/10... :-)
because of the originality. Great map. Thank you so much for making it. It's taking a while...
Wow guys, thanks for that! I don't do many maps but occasionally I see one I could make "worse". Glad you both enjoyed it more than you hated it! =D

There is a guppy in the lower right that you can use

Last post by toolforger - January 06, 2026, 07:49:39 AMPretty tricky start, but straightforward afterwards.
Getting the tech:
Landfall:
Energy shortage:
Reaching the second emitter:
I didn't use the mortar tech, just clearing out the creeper with Berthas and the cannons proved to be easy enough.
Getting the tech:
Spoiler
Just land a CN nearby. Some of the caches already have the necessary collector/relay.
You can land on creeper. The CN will survive for a while.

Landfall:
Spoiler
Put the nullifier on the island, power it via guppy from creeper-infested land. The guppy will survive for a while, you can choose if you let it return and heal before it dies, or let it die and rebuild.
You'll need to land two cannons for actual landfall.

[close]
Energy shortage:
Spoiler
You can afford three, maybe four cannons. There are three stacked terps on the small island, you can power them from the right and create flat space for a CN to land, build collectors and two guppies to help power the actual front. This will allow five cannons, barely.
[close]
Reaching the second emitter:
Spoiler
Five cannons are barely not enough for the final push, but a shield will help just enough.
